Let's catch up and trade rides for a drive at some point this summer! I'd love to drive a 2000, and I don't really care if you want to drive mine
It's looking good, and sounding great, even without an exhaust system.

Thanks. I have been looking for these. The company that used to make some went out of business.

what is the advantage over the glass fuses?
just availability or are they a little more durable?
does the original cover still fit on it with those new style fuses in it?
I would think they would stick up too much.
I don't have a cover on my fuse box so I can't speak to that.
I was just wanting to have the flexibility to use either and to see if they really do work.

Yes they are LED headlights. I needed to replace the old bulbs and came across these while I was investigating:

I also have some LED fog lights coming.

Congratulations! Just a tip on your intake/exhaust manifold studs, rather than use locking pliers, simply put two nuts on the stud end and lock them together (tighten one against the other) and them use the combo to install or remove the stud. This keeps you from marring up the stud surface. Again, good work and congratulations!

Woo hoo, congrats Aiden! Nice to do some work, learn some stuff and have it all come together! As I was hitting triple digit warp speed passing cars on the way to Mt Rainier yesterday I got to say "I did this! I built this engine!" It was also helpful when she started running funky and going lean... Since I know my engine I could figure it out as a bad fuel pump. I had suspected it might be wonky, so I was carrying a replacement (electric) since Shasta last year. 30 minutes on the side of the road and warp drive was back on line.
Once again I was happy that I have a permanently installed wide band A/F meter as I could watch what was happening and know it was fuel and not spark... No spark and it would have read richer...

Haha - I've never washed my Roadster in 4-1/2 years. I guess that makes me positively medieval!
